“Yes,” The hidden guard told Yun Linzhou everything he had heard.
When he heard that he was the youngest son of the Xili Empire’s Empress, Yun Linzhou wasn’t surprised. He only curled his lips mockingly and smiled.
“Looks like my previous guess was right. Yun Chuhuai is their biological son. I’m just a child that no one wants.”
The hidden guard didn’t dare to reply. He only lowered his head and continued, “Wei Cang was ordered not only to bring you back to Xili, but also to abduct Princess Yaoguang.”
Yun Linzhou frowned. “What?”
His brush fell.
He had investigated Wei Cang before. This man was very ruthless and had great foresight like an eagle.
Ling Tianyin had probably made up his mind to capture Gu Nuo’er to Xili.
Yun Linzhou quickly came up with a plan and asked coldly, “How many people do they have?”
“I heard from Wei Cang that there are more than a hundred people lying in ambush.”
“More than a hundred people… Has Marquis Yongye already set off from the palace?”
“Yes, His Majesty ordered him and the city patrols to investigate the strange occurrences in the capital’s suburbs. However, this is also Wei Cang’s smokescreen.”
The hidden guard continued, “Our people also sent a letter just now. Five minutes ago, Princess Yaoguang’s carriage drove out of the palace.”
Yun Linzhou brows furrowed even more.
It was raining today, so why did Nuo’er still come out to play?
The capital was not peaceful. He had to send her a reminder.
Yun Linzhou immediately tidied up. “Prepare the carriage. I’ll go pick Nuo’er up.”
The hidden guard was shocked. “Master, you mustn’t do that. You’ve been enduring for so long. It won’t be worth it if you’re exposed for Princess Yaoguang’s sake!”
Yun Linzhou looked back and stared at him coldly.
“In order to capture Nuo’er, Wei Cang will definitely be unscrupulous. She might get injured.”
“I hope that she’ll always be happy and won’t be hurt. Therefore, I have to find her before Wei Cang does, understand?”
“As long as it’s Gu Nuo’er, it’s worth it.”
Even if all his years of planning had gone down the drain?
The hidden guard persuaded, “Please think twice! Your Highness, do you still remember what your nanny said to you?”
Yun Linzhou stopped in his tracks and closed his eyes, his brows filled with complicated emotions.
Actually, when he was a year old, he was despised by the Xili Empire’s empress because he was born with a disability.
The imperial physician concluded that he was intellectually challenged. The empress felt that his existence would definitely bring trouble to her.
Therefore, the empress did a very heartless thing.
She took the initiative to offer this stupid youngest son to the emperor, Ling Tianyin.
He also suggested, “Prince Xuan and his wife are lying in ambush in Great Qi and are in danger of being exposed at any time. Your Majesty, why don’t you send this little prince to their side?
“The first use is that the prince’s existence will constantly remind them of their mission. This will ensure that they won’t forget that they’ll still have to pledge their loyalty to the Xili Empire after being a prince for too long!
“Secondly, if an accident happens, we can get them to offer their son to the Great Qi’s emperor, Gu Yihan, to buy time for the Xili Empire to counterattack.”
The empress’s voice was very cold, as if she had no feelings for this child at all.
“Although he was born with a disability, he’s still Your Majesty’s legitimate son. His status is naturally incomparable to a concubine’s son.”
Ling Tianyin thought about it and agreed.
Because of this matter, the empress had stabilized her position in the harem and controlled the power of the six palaces. No matter how powerful the pampered consort was, she had to make way for her.
Therefore, Prince Xuan and his wife, who were far away in Great Qi back then, received a secret letter and started to pretend to be pregnant. They also started to make plans to bring the prince to their side.
Yun Linzhou was actually a year older than everyone thought.
